Our People
I am a Washington State native CPA who graduated from the University of Washington with academic honors. My favorite things include hiking in our serene woodlands, climbing the spectacular glaciers of Mt. Rainier, displaying my inspiring nature photographs, and my Golden Doodle, Monty. My beloved daughter is my greatest pride as she realizes new successes in her own life including three children.
I apprenticed under exceptionally talented tax experts dedicated to their clients who continue to offer me technical support. I have worked with industry giants like Wards Cove Packing who operated 13 fisheries in Alaska, and Fryer Knowles who won competitive bids doing construction for the Bremerton Navy and Safeway.
I was fortunate to meet a talented CPA auditor and start an Accounting and Tax partnership helping local Renton businesses and neighbors from 2000 to 2015.
After a short hiatus publishing two Science Fiction novels, I updated my skills working with local CPA firms on the latest significant tax issues and IRS procedures and reopened my own business. If you’re looking for someone who values the CPA community and providing adaptive services that lead to greater prosperity, then I am your CPA.
